It's possible that was the cause of the noise on KZ5MM Beverage, and no
doubt John's spacing suggestion is good advice, however when I had 4
Beverages here, they all ran within 50 feet of my shunt-fed towers. They
were quiet and very directional, so I don't believe the towers affected
them.
(BTW, Bill, when you shunt feed a non-resonant structure, it becomes a
resonant structure at the frequency it's tuned to. This is very evident
on my 1/4-wave spaced towers and their very obvious mutual coupling.)
